Traditionally, lead-acid GC2 batteries are heavy-duty, deep-cycle wet/flooded batteries - since they are required to cycle a lot during use, they are build using heavy, thick plates which can often withstand 1000+ cycles down to 50% DoD, which is an excellent result for lead-acid batteries.īut, wet/flooded lead-acid batteries are not maintenance-free batteries and are being replaced by spill-proof, maintenance-free AGM and Gel-Cell lead-acid batteries, although wet/flooded are still being used very often.ĪGM and Gel-Cell batteries are often designed to allow recombination of up to, sometimes even more than 99% of generated oxygen and hydrogen into water, and as such don't require periodical checks.
Most GC2 batteries are 3-cell 6-volt lead-acid batteries, although Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO 4) batteries are also being offered as 4-cell 12-volt batteries. GC2 and GC2H Battery Types and Chemistries And because of this "almost always", it is recommended to always check the actual size of the battery compartment and the size of batteries before ordering a new set of batteries. However, in real life, many manufacturers label their batteries as 'GC2' batteries, although they are as tall as GC2H batteries - golf cart battery compartments and other similar battery compartments are "almost always" tall enough in order to accommodate GC2H batteries with some room left. Note: Groups GC2 and GC2H feature very similar physical dimensions as Groups GC8 and GC8H respectively, except that GC2 and GC2H batteries feature nominal voltage of 6V and GC8 and GC8H feature nominal voltage of 8V.Īs one can see, GC2 and GC2H batteries feature the same length and width, but the GC2H group is 1 inch (25.4 mm) taller than the GC2 group.
Group GC2 and Group GC2H - 6 Volt Golf Cart BatteriesīCI Group GC2 and Group GC2H batteries are heavy-duty, deep cycle batteries commonly used in golf carts and other automotive applications.Īlso, they are often used as deep cycle batteries in marine applications, off-the-grid applications, for powering medical and security systems, and similar.Īlthough they are by definition 3-cell 6V batteries, GC2 and GC2H batteries are sometimes offered as 12V batteries (mostly lithium 4-cell batteries) for building 24V, 36V, and 48V battery packs with fewer batteries.īCI Group GC2 and Group GC2H Batteries Features and SpecificationsīCI Group GC2 and Group GC2H batteries are very similar batteries, differing practically only in dimensions (L x W x H):
